Busaba Eathai ****


If you're a fan of informal restaurant settingd and excellent food at reasonable prices and or have been to restaurants like Koya and Wagamama then you'll absolutely love Busaba Eathai and may in fact be converted.

The Thai food on offer is excellent ranging from the standard red and green curries to the less conventional such as the monkfish curry and the jungle curry. Each dish is immaculately prepared and to a very high standard. Do not expect high quality presentation or a beautiful creation to appear before your eyes as the key to the dish is its taste. My particular favourites include the calamari and the monkfish curry.

The shared dining experience also adds to the informal atmosphere and it's not uncommon to share dining tips and recommendations with your neighbours. This perhaps does not lend itself to couples on a date or for those looking for a quieter meal however is ideal if you're in a group.

This was clearly a very popular restaurant and the queue simply confirmed this - you should expect to wait for approximately 10-15 minutes for a table however once you're seated you'll know why you waited. The overall dining experience was very pleasant and the waitress was very friendly demonstrating good knowledge of the dishes. The only downside has perhaps been that the prawns were slightly bland and watery however I would still recommend this place very highly and give it 4 out of 5.
